README.md

This is the classic Backbone Todos app,
refactored to leverage CoffeeScript and Rails' Asset Pipeline,
and backended by a Rails JSON API.

Install

If you don't already know this dance:

git clone git://github.com/dthtvwls/rails-backbone-todos.git

cd rails-backbone-todos/

bundle install

rake db:schema:load

rails server

open http://localhost:3000

For a really fun time

Check http://localhost:3000/todos.json
while you use the Backbone app to see the data updating.
All communication between Backbone and Rails is over the API;
front and back ends are completely decoupled.
